About Me

I think defining ourselves is one of the most difficult tasks we have in our lives. But, lets give it a try. I´m a relax guy that loves to travel, to get to know new cultures and ways of living. I´m kind of an activist and I continuously participate in NGOs and social projects that try to make this world a better place to live. I have participated in education projects in Africa, worked with immigrants here in Mexico, etc. Nowadays I´m involved in a project in which we are fighting so that our public transport drivers earn better work conditions and more wage; they work for more than 10 hours a day and don´t have breaks neither to eat or going to the bathroom.

But well, talking about me again, I think that in other words I´m a person that wants to make this world a better places and wishes we could all live in peace and respecting each other.

Creo que definirnos es una de las tareas más difíciles que hay en la vida (no creo que podamos hacerlos de manera permanente). Pero intentémoslo. Soy un bato relajado que ama viajar y conocer nuevas culturas y formas de vivir. Soy una especie de activista y continuamente participo en ONGs y proyectos sociales que intentan hacer de este mundo un lugar mejor para vivir. He participado en proyectos educativos en África, trabajado con migrantes en México, etc. Ahorita estoy participando en el que estamos luchando por que nuestos conductores del transporte público tengan mejores salarios y condiciones de trabajo; ya que trabajan más de 10 horas diarias y no les dan tiempo para comer o ir al baño.

Pero bueno, regresando a mí, creo que en pocas palabras soy una persona que quiere hacer de este mundo un lugar mejor y desea que todos podamos vivir en paz respetándonos mutuamente.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m on couch-surfing because I believe in other ways to travel. I think that getting to know one another and discovering the world through the eyes of the people that actually live there, make it a totally different experience.
